    The staff are friendly, the price of rentals is average, and the belaying class is the cheapest around.

    They reject any medical exemptions to wearing a mask or face shield, effectively enforcing…read morediscrimination and segregation of this country's citizens. The town mask mandate requires businesses to respect medical exemptions. I was belaying my partner at Central Rock Hadley in August 2021 when they told me to put my mask on after I'm done belaying him. I said "OK!", and they left. A couple of minutes later, when I was holding my partner up in the air, both hands clearly occupied, the manager came and snapped at me in an extremely nasty tone to put a mask on immediately at that moment. I explained to her that I was holding my partner up in the air and it would be unsafe to do so. How more unsafe could you get than to demand someone to put a mask on while they're holding someone up in the air? She then said that I had to either lower him, or give her the rope so I could put a mask on. I wanted my partner to finally get that climb and to continue to communicate with him about it so I put my mask on while she held the rope. After I was done lowering my partner, I took it off, and she came back to harass me, which I explained that I had a medical exemption and there has been no issue from anyone with me wearing it when I could and taking it off when I couldn't, until now. She stated I had to put the mask on immediately at that moment, or leave now, and if I didn't chose one of the two options, she would call the police on me. I told her I would leave and later on she explained that I had to wear a face shield if I couldn't wear a mask, to which I explained that I couldn't wear a face shield either. Her rules were: everyone needed to wear either a face shield or a mask. My medical exemption was effectively ignored. They violated my rights through violating the ADA and the Massachusetts Public Accommodation Law. https://www.mass.gov/service-details/public-accommodation-civil-rights-protections The town of Hadley mask mandate states: "Nothing in this order shall be construed to require a mask to be worn by children under age five (5) or children who frequently compromise mask integrity with frequent manipulations or removals, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance or anyone who cannot wear a mask for other underlying health and safety reasons." The manager and employees were also delighted when my truck with signs advocating for medical freedom was vandalized. In fact, from how they acted, I wouldn't be surprised if they knew who did it, or were even involved with it themselves. The Hadley police reviewed the footage but the footage was too blurry to see who did it, so I wouldn't be surprised that these bullies tampered with it, either.

    A great climbing gym for beginners and experts alike (though I'm definitely a beginner!). Helpful…read moreand friendly staff who don't coddle you--they make sure you're up to speed on belay technique and everything safety-related. This keeps the gym feeling really safe and professional, which I enjoy. I also love the variety of yoga and fitness classes, plus the free weights in the gym. It's the perfect mix for me of climbing, yoga (which I used to HATE and now generally enjoy, thanks to CRG) and weightlifting. The training area upstairs is also great for climbing-specific training, with a variety of hangboards, a kilterboard, and more. I really like the vibes here, and the music is great 99% of the time. Great atmosphere and a nice sense of community fostered by the staff with lots of events like queer climbing night, women's climbing night, and more. Honestly, my favorite reason for living in this area. Highly recommend visiting!

    I live nearby, so I signed up for a membership. The process was seamless, and Ben was very helpful…read moreand professional throughout the process. The gym has a good amount of bouldering, mainly intermediate V4-6 and some top-roping with quite a few autobelay routes. There are yoga classes twice a week which is included in a membership though I have yet to try a class. Otherwise, it's a fairly standard climbing gym with interesting climbs, especially for beginner and intermediate climbers. They have a room full of bike racks as soon as you walk in which is nice, as someone who bikes to the gym. The facility is pretty large with a lounging area, training areas, plenty of storage space, and clean bathrooms. You do have to bring your own chalk (or rent gear which comes with chalk), and the chalk that is for sale in the store is not that great in my opinion and doesn't fully coat the fingers.

    Definitely one of the larger indoor climbing gyms that I've been to in the greater Boston area!…read moreThis Rock Spot location has a bit of something for everyone which is why it's one of my favorites (brownie points for easy parking). It's suitable for all skill levels - even true beginners. I love that they have a tier level below v0 which has made it so much easier to get introduced to climbing. They also have top roping at this location along with all sorts of classes and an event space! The only drawback of this place is that it does tend to get crowded in the evenings during peak times and also there's almost guaranteed for there to always be a few kids birthday parties over the weekends but generally it's contained to one area of the gym so it's not too distracting.

The courses are well thought out for all skill levels. There are plenty of tables to sit and watch, many are in nicely shaded spots. Ok to bring snacks, a lunch, or water. There is a variety of snacks and drinks available to purchase. Gloves are a must. You can't participate without them. They do have them in multiple size onsite to purchase. You can't participate without gloves. You can bring your own. They do have a limited number of lockers available to store valuables. The alternative is leaving them in your car or bringing them with you. I felt safe leaving my bag on a picnic bench. If you choose to leave anything in your pockets it is subject to falling out onto the ground below. I saw it happen. Enjoy!

There are different difficulty levels and multiple paths to complete for each level. 3 hours flew by and I didn't even go on every course. The check in process was a breeze and although it was very busy there was no lines or crowd. The safety tutorial did however feel rushed. I was NOT confident that I knew what to do but the locking mechanism made me feel safe enough to just " figure it out." I can't wait to return again with the rest of my family. This would be a great group opportunity for active families.
